The Electric Omnibus.

A curious incident was lately witnessed in the Palace Yard, Westminster, London. About 4 o’clock an electric omnibus started from the St. Stephen’s Club and carried some dozen members of Parliament round to the members’ entrance in Palace Yard. Admiral Mayne was in charge of the omnibus, and among the passengers wei*e Sir William Marriott, Sir Walter Foster, Major Warring, Mr. Majoribanks and Sir William Walrond. The arrival of the car atti*acted a large number of members, and subsequently a series of trips was made round the neighboring streets, some hundred members in all availing themselves of the opportunity of testing the practical utility of the omnibus.
